// the C++ char_traits member, length() example

#include <string>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)

{

size_t LenStr1;

const char* str1="Testing 1...2...3";

cout<<"str1 C-string is: "<<str1<<endl;

cout<<"\nOperation: length(str1)"<<endl;

LenStr1 = char_traits<char>::length(str1);

cout<<"The length of str1 is: "<<unsigned int(LenStr1)<<endl<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

str1 C-string is: Testing 1...2...3

Operation: length(str1)

The length of str1 is: 17
